New Bridge Community Church Sermons

This week Pastor Jon dives into Acts 24 to explore what happens when God's truth gets a little too personal. By contrasting the captive Apostle Paul with the powerful Romangovernor Felix, the message reveals how we often postpone spiritual surrender when it challenges our need for control. Rather than outright rejecting Jesus, many of us simply keep Him at a safe distance until it feels more c...

While it is wonderful and exciting to see God do miraculous things in the Bible and in our lives today, at times it can be confusing and discouraging when that doesn't happen. Does that mean God isn't at work? On Sunday, we will see in Acts 23:12-35 that sometimes the extraordinary is disguised as ordinary.

There’s a well-known saying: “Jesus loves you just as you are, but too much to leave you as you are.” But what does it actually look like for Jesus to change us, not just what we believe, but how we think, love, and live in everyday life?

What if the people we’re tempted to write off are exactly the people God is moving toward, and what if He’s already given us more than we realize to join Him? This Sunday in Acts 22, we’ll follow Paul through a volatile moment that challenges us to see people differently, our lives differently, and the opportunities God has placed right in front of us differently.   Access upcoming events, get con...

Every one of us has a story, and the stories that captivate us most are stories of transformation. This Sunday in Acts 22, we'll discover how Paul tells the story of Jesus' work in his life, and how our own stories find their greatest meaning when they become part of God's bigger story of redemption. Join us as we learn how God is still writing stories of grace today.  As we look at Ac...

What is most important to you? Is it where you come from? Is it where you live? Or perhaps it is something that has happened to you? As we look at Acts 21, Paul enters Jerusalem and almost immediately finds himself in serious trouble. But why? Could it be that the gospel he is preaching challenges what the surrounding culture values most? Access upcoming events, get connected, downloaddigital serm...

Have you ever been caught between knowing it's time to say goodbye but not wanting to leave? Being compelled by what you must do, yet having your heart filled with sadness at the same time? As we look at Acts 21, we find Paul in this exact place. But strangely, there seems to be a major contradiction in some of what the Holy Spirit is saying and prompting. What is going on, and what does this...

We are all familiar with the principle that it isn’t how you start but rather how you finish that matters. But how do we live a life that leads to finishing well? In Acts 20, Paul shares his final words with the Ephesian elders, revealing what mattered most as he looked back on his life and ahead to eternity. Living with the end in view brings clarity to how we live today. Join us this Sunday as w...

In a world filled with competing voices, shifting values, and constant confusion, how do we find true clarity? Acts 19 reminds us that the Gospel doesn't simply add Jesus to our lives, it reorients all of life around Jesus.

Acts 19 begins Paul’s third missionary journey into the city of Ephesus. We begin to see God laying the groundwork for a major move of His Kingdom. The name of Jesus begins to take prominence when, strangely, a group of Jewish magicians tries to invoke the name of Jesus. However, things don’t go so well. Can the name of Jesus be used like a weapon by simply anyone? What is the difference between a...

The most important question you may ask isn't, "What am I doing?" but "Who am I becoming?" Whether we realize it or not, we are all being formed by something. This Sunday in Acts 18, we'll see how God uses relationships, teachability, and mission to transform our lives. Don’t miss this opportunity to step into the transforming work God wants to do in and through your li...

What does it look like when the Holy Spirit forms a church for a changing world? In Acts 11, we'll explore the remarkable story of the church in Antioch—a diverse, missionary-sending community that crossed cultural boundaries, welcomedoutsiders, and became a force for healing in a fractured world.

We live in a world full of questions, searching, and competing stories about where meaning and fulfillment are found.

Join us as we continue our journey through Acts...

What do you do when obedience makes life harder instead of easier? Why do we so often interpret our lives through our circumstances? And how do we keep trusting God when following Jesus becomes costly? Together we’ll see how the Gospel disrupts what we build our lives on, reveals what we truly trust, and shines brightest in the darkest moments. This Sunday’s message is for you, no matter what is h...

We love a “yes.” Yes means green light go. Yes means success. On the other side of a yes means, “I got what I wanted.” But what about when God gives us a “No?” This weekend, we will take a look at the very first time in Scripture where the Holy Spirit gives an outright “No.” The question it leaves us with is, “What do we do if God tells us no?” Join us this weekend as we continue our series in Act...

What if the biggest threat to the Gospel isn’t rejecting Jesus, but adding to Him? In Acts 15, the early church faced a defining question: Is Jesus enough, or do we need something more? The answer shaped the future of the church, and it stillshapes our lives today. This Sunday, we’ll explore how easily we turn “Jesus alone” into “Jesus plus,” and why the Gospel is not about what we do for God, but...
